HUDCO HOUSING, NEEMUCH
• The housing for the Neemuch
Improvement Trust in Mandsaur
District in the central Indian state of
Madhya Pradesh was designed
predominantly for the less well-off
sectors of society, but also partly for
the middle income group.

• Its 178 dwelling units were

conceived and constructed with the
aim of assuring a good standard of
living and providing reasonable
facilities, adequate and equitable
distribution of infrastructure, and
suitable open spaces.

SITE PLAN • The main building materials - rubble

and limestone slabs . The stones and
slabs came from a quarry and were
used cut and dressed to various
specified sizes depending on
anticipated usage. The method of
construction was very similar to that
MODEL used for pre-cast concrete, but in a
natural form.
• Row and cluster housing has been developed with common walls, and all houses
are provided with front and back yards. Dwellings at first floor level are given
access to an open terrace via an outside stairway. The houses were built of local
stone and with local labour, thus achieving very high cost savings.

• Each type of cluster was given its own open space. The overall environment
results from the hierarchy established by these open spaces, which range from
individual terraces and front/back yards to cluster open spaces. Their continuum
throughout the scheme is established by pathways that link the various spaces.
